Leave a Legacy

When you make plans to leave a gift to the Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation in your will and trust, you are making an investment in the future of our region that will help improve the quality of life for generations to come.

When you work with the NCCF team and your advisors to establish a bequest, you’ll be invited to join the Bequest Society of Northern Chautauqua Community Foundation.

We’re happy to explore a wide range of “planned gifts”–which simply refers to arrangements you’ve made to leave money to charity following your death–can take many forms, including bequests in a will or trust, beneficiary designations on retirement accounts or life insurance policies, and charitable trusts. 

Charitable bequests are a popular type of planned gifts. You can work with your advisors and the NCCF team to incorporate language in your will or trust to leave a specific dollar amount or portion of your estate to The Community Fund at NCCF. 

You can also name the NCCF as a beneficiary of all or a part of your retirement plan accounts or a life insurance policy. 

The NCCF team would love to work with you to establish a bequest as your gift to the campaign for northern Chautauqua. Reach out today to learn more.
